Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 761 Yuan Shang's Opportunity

The news that the Han army regained Youzhou is indeed true.However, not so true.

The fact is that Zhang Liao joined forces with Ke Bineng, gathered an army of [-] and marched aggressively towards Youzhou.When Xian Yufu saw this, he really wrote this letter to Liu Xie, expressing his willingness to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and become a loyal younger brother of the Han Dynasty.

The reason why Xian Yufu was able to make such a decision was actually within Liu Xie's expectation.First, Zhang Liao is different from other Han armies. In addition to receiving the battle report of Guandu's victory, Zhang Liao also received a letter from Chang'an.The person who wrote the letter was Xian Yuyin, the younger brother of Xian Yufu who had escorted Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu back to the west.

Second, Tian Yu, Xian Yufu's subordinate, played a major role in this matter.

Tian Yu, like Xu Rong, is a talent buried in history.However, compared to Xu Rong, Tian Yu was actually more unlucky.After all, although Xu Rong died heroically in Li Jue's rebellion, history books left behind his deeds of beating Sun Jian and defeating Cao Cao.And Tian Yuping lived to be more than 70 years old safely, but because of his talent, his reputation has been unknown in the history books.

People can't help but feel confused here, because in people's conception, it is believed that gold will always shine, and an awl will always stand out.But Tian Yu, why is his reputation so low just because he is capable?
This is actually a malicious joke that history played with future generations, because Tian Yu has the ability to guard the northern border later, so this place cannot lack his capable man.But in the long history, our nation has always regarded the Han people as orthodox, and subconsciously chose to forget or underestimate the matters of the Rong and Di in the frontier.Because of this, even though Tian Yu became well-known in northern Xinjiang in the future, after experiencing the washing of the long river of history, he quietly disappeared into it.

If you really approached Tian Yu, you would actually find that he was a general no less than Zhao Yun.He is even better than Zhao Yun in terms of guarding one side and herdsmen protecting the border—of course, such a comparison is unfair to Zhao Yun. After all, if the two really confront each other, Zhao Yun is likely to pick Tian Yu with one shot... …

But in any case, there is no doubt that Tian Yu is a capable person.And when he stepped onto the stage of history, apart from making Liu Bei weep and hold hands tightly at the beginning, he also showed extraordinary vision in the battle of Guandu.

Historically, the Battle of Guandu had not yet started, and Xian Yufu was hesitant, not knowing who to hang out with in order to have meat.At this time, Tian Yu firmly told Xian Yufu that he would start a business with Boss Cao. It turned out that Tian Yu was indeed a very good judge of people, at least it also proved that he was a very courageous and decisive person.

And in this historical time and space, Liu Xie has already driven Yuan Shao back to his old nest in Yecheng, and Zhang Liao also teamed up with Ke Bineng to drive a mighty car to the door of Xian Yufu's house, with Xian Yuyin's secret to persuade his brother in his arms. Believe... Driven by all these general trends, if Tian Yu has not advised Xian Yufu to make up his mind to follow the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie should suspect that Tian Yu was crossed by a fool.

Anyway, no matter why Tian Yu didn't make his mark before the Battle of Guandu, Youzhou finally opened his arms to Liu Xie under the beautiful planning of the Han Dynasty.It's just that this hug is still a bit like holding a pipa half-hidden, and it's not as beautiful as what Leng Shouguang said in Yecheng.

Because Xian Yufu returned to Han at this time, it does not mean that the six counties of Youzhou fell into Liu Xie's pocket at once.But because Xian Yufu returned to the Han Dynasty, he completely broke face with the Karasuma clan.Because after Yuan Shao wiped out Gongsun Zan, in order to quickly calm the situation in Youzhou, he offered extremely favorable conditions to the Karasuma clan.

Back then when Yuan Shao was fighting with Gongsun Zan, Karasuma-sama Tadun took the initiative to seek Yuan Shao's marriage.In the name of the imperial court, Yuan Shao immediately gave Tadun, Nanlou, Su Puyan, Wuyan and others Shanyu titles and seals, and married Wuhuan, marrying the daughter of Yuan's clan to Wuhuan leader Tadun as his wife consolidated the alliance.

So far, Yuan Shao has tacitly accepted Karasuma's power in Youzhou, and even caused a large number of Han people who could not bear the war to flee into the Karasuma tribe, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Karasuma clan.

Xian Yufu's attitude towards Karasuma basically followed Liu Yuhuairou's policy of foreign race.However, at this time and at that time, the Karasuma alien race had already tasted the sweetness from Yuan Shao, and naturally they were unwilling to submit to the Han people.As a result, Xian Yufu's decision to return to the Han Dynasty made the Karasuma tribe firmly stand on Yuan Shao's side and began to officially fight against the Han army.

In other words, Youzhou today is in the midst of a battle between the Han army, Xianbei Kebineng and the Karasuma tribe.It is said that Youzhou is completely owned by the Han Dynasty, but it is actually just a nominal victory.

However, Liu Xie didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

First of all, the Zhang Liao he sent was the most brutal man in history.And the guys who have made great achievements in northern Xinjiang in history, such as Tian Yu, Tian Chou and others, are also in their positions.In addition, Ke Bineng, who was supposed to make trouble together, also formed an alliance with the Han Dynasty.

The combination of these factors convinced Liu Xie that this war should not last for too long.Even if there will be twists and turns in the war, at least it is enough to fool the second official Yuan Shang who lives in Yecheng.

At least, judging from the current situation, the effect of yesterday's "military exercise" was quite good.

After yesterday, Liu Xie took a telescope and saw that the guards in Yecheng were much more diligent than before, and the number of patrols increased a lot.It's just that the state of those soldiers is all tense, and that feeling is completely caused by dissatisfaction.

From this point, it can be judged that yesterday's news has spread to every corner of Ye City like a spring breeze.Facing such a heavy blow, Yuan Shang really lived up to Liu Xie's expectations, like a firefighter, he adopted a subconscious policy of blocking - this is the most common mistake for a novice entering the political arena, because Yuan Shang is a rookie after all, far from the years and experience. Energy gave him adept political skills.

Therefore, such a naive policy of strong blocking has just further caused the people's hearts to fluctuate in Yecheng, and further turmoil has begun to occur.The most obvious example is that the Han Dynasty unexpectedly received a secret letter from Jin Yiwei from Ye City last night.

According to the secret letter, regarding the news from the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shang ordered those who dared to believe it lightly to be executed, and those who dared to whisper the news to be executed.For this reason, the entire Assassin Cao spread all over the streets and alleys of Yecheng, eavesdropping on the conversations of the common people.They even put up posters to intimidate the people, and hung up human heads in the city, trying to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and scaring monkeys.

Such measures, in the eyes of anyone with political experience, are extremely absurd.Because these measures are like using a small spoon to pour water to extinguish a forest fire, this kind of high-pressure policy will not only have no effect, but will only rapidly amplify the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people.Moreover, the more Yuan Shang ordered that no one was allowed to pass on the news outside the city, the more the curiosity of the people was aroused, and this effect spread in Yecheng at a faster speed.Under the terrifying high-pressure policy, the people of Yecheng acted quickly and began to fight Yuan Shang's wits and courage.

At this time, Liu Xie continued to read the battle reports of Hebei land outside the city again and again, basically these battle reports have been beautified.Anyway, in the ears of the Yecheng soldiers, either Zhao Yun was very popular in Zhending's hometown, or Lu Bu, the number one general of the Han Dynasty, was driven like a tiger, or General Gao Shun, who was trapped in the camp with three thousand soldiers, achieved another impossible victory.

In short, all these pieces of news were combined together, making everyone in Yecheng feel that the land of Hebei would completely fall into the hands of the Han Dynasty the next day.And those people who are trapped in Yecheng are simply stupid. Liu Xie estimated that secretly, everyone in Yecheng has already begun to look forward to the early victory of the Han army in Yecheng.

Because later, more and more Yuan Jun defected from Yecheng by falling down the city wall with ropes at night.There was even a shout of killing at the gate of the city once, but it was a pity that even though the Han army took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, Jushou was prepared and suppressed the rebellion.

And a month later, Yuan Shang was no longer as radiant as when he took over the power from his father. He angrily grabbed his hair and yelled fiercely at the empty lobby of the Cheqi General's Mansion: "Why? ? Why did I work so hard, so tirelessly, to keep the Yuan family's foundation, but those untouchables and soldiers left me instead?! They deserve to die, they should all be killed!"

At this moment, Yuan Shang's pride was completely crushed by reality, and he roared wildly.The guards outside the lobby couldn't help being frightened, feeling that Yuan Shang is a crazy beast, trying to destroy and devour everything.

However, just when Yuan Shang was on the verge of despair, Shen Rong hurriedly ran to Yuan Shang with a letter, and said excitedly: "Young master, I am overjoyed, Yuan Tan encountered Cao Jun in Jinbei, and was cut off by Cao Cao! "

Yuan Shang stared at Shen Rong with red eyes, making him terrified.But then Yuan Shang suddenly grabbed Shen Rong's shoulder, and laughed wildly: "Hahaha...Cao Cao is really a noble man, I sent such good news at this time, am I afraid that Yecheng will not recognize me as the head of the Yuan family? Ju Shou Tian Feng and Tian Feng have no choice, they will definitely do their best to plan for me, and we are waiting for the opportunity to turn defeat into victory right in front of us!"
